I have always found the KDE screensavers to be troublesome, at best.  I 
have, for many KDE releases, just disabled KDE screensavers and used 
XScreensaver.

For some background: http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#kde

This is how I have Xscreensaver setup to start, etc.:

Works like a charm for me.
